Welcome to my LiveJournal. I'm a science fiction writer with a growing collection of published short stories, and my collection Unwelcome Bodies is currently available from Apex Publications. It includes, among other stories, "Captive Girl," which was a 2007 Nebula finalist and which made the 2007 Gaylactic Spectrum Awards short list. I started this journal to have a place to talk about writing and the writing life, although you'll probably notice various digressions into belly dance and politics.

Ahem.

I've been chosen to be one of the three judges for the Apex Digest Halloween Short Fiction Contest. Follow the link to learn how to enter and what kind of shit you'll get if you win.

I'd say that the line for bribes starts here, but apparently they strip names from submissions before they pass them along to the judges. What's the fun in that? ;)
